It will be seen that cereals and farm crops have suffered 
much more severely from the fall in prices than live stock, and 
that fruit and vegetables have done better than either. 
The average level of prices of feeding stuffs and fertilisers 
for the years 1923 to 1925 remained below the level of agricultural 
produce—a factor which was to the farmers’ advantage in com- 
parison with conditions prevailing before the war. Wages 
remained practically unchanged between October 1922 and 
December 1924, but there was a general increase in March 1925.
